    I understand, I was answering a person that said "there were NO contracts" A man is only as good as his word and once again Haye showed his word is meaningless IMO

    He doesn't command that much. Look Haye has only had one fight where he, on his own, drew 20,000. That number is commendable, but Wlad and Vitali have been drawing 20,000+ for around a decade now. Wlad proved with his recent fight against Chambers that it wasn't Haye that allowed him to draw north of 50,000 people, and Vitali will repeat that feat vs Sosnowski.

    Haye wouldn't even be the first big draw opponent the Klitschko's have fought. Chagaev consistently drew well in Germany, and Wladimir is in talks with Povetkin, who has drawn around 20,000 on a number of occasions in Russia. Fact is Haye does not bring as much to the table as he thinks. Is he a solid draw, yes. Is he the man the Klitschkos need to face? No. If not for the British fans being so rabid and vocal this would simply be a case of another decent contender calling them out.

    Live attendance is only part of the equation though, although Haye can sell out Wembley now for a Klitschko fight. Haye also brings somewhere in the region of a million PPV sales for that fight. That's not something that any other heavyweight contender brings right now.

    Once again, that is where you're wrong. For example, as CHEF can attest to, Povetkin is a huge star in Russia and will bring in an awful lot of money from the Russia television market because a fight between him and Wlad is seen as an Eastern Euro super fight.

    Yeah I'm sure Russian TV pays huge money, that's why the Russians all fight in Germany...

    Povetkin appears intent on making a career from being paid not to fight Wlad?

    Germany is a bigger boxing market than the UK, hence the reason why a British fighter's biggest payday would come against one of two East Euros based in Germany.

    What were the PPV numbers for Haye vs Ruiz? Because the PPV numbers for Haye vs Barrett were abysmal.

    Don King will not give the WBA belt to you, but you already know this. :D

    David might vacate the belt and he'll get smashed.

    The belt should be Wladimirs, he won it in the ring, unlike Valuev. :D

    But CHEF, aren't the biggest problems with all of this that Wladimir is already in talks with Povetkin, Vitali is fighting Sosnowski, Valuev has a rematch clause with Haye, and Haye hasn't even approached the IBF about scheduling a unification fight?
